Pathology

Pathology as a subject deals with study of human diseases. It forms the bridge between Pre Clinical & Clinical Sciences. It is to do with the application of advances in basic biological sciences, understand the nature and evaluation of each disease in detail.

The Department of Pathology helps students advance their knowledge of pathological conditions. The Department utilizes advanced systems for routine and specialized diagnosis and students are encouraged to refer to the vast collection of CDs and slides. Computers and Binocular Microscopes with CCTV further aid students in the learning process.

The Department of Pathology imparts theoretical and practical training to the II MBBS students. The subject of Pathology deals with the understanding of disease processes, disease evolution and consequences of the same. It deals with Laboratory diagnosis, correlating clinical features with laboratory findings, and interpretation of laboratory investigation results. It teaches the students in the performing basic investigation procedures and tests.

The students who have completed the basic sciences namely Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry get to learn in Pathology, altered structure, altered – function and changes in the biochemical parameters. This helps in understanding of diseases. Pathology is the backbone of clinical medicine.

The curriculum centers around Histopathology, Hematology, cytology along with clinical Pathology. The diagnostic wing in the hospital offers services under these categories.

The department is well equipped with necessary infrastructure especially adequate specimens for museum, slides for study, audio-visual aids and department library. All these are put to maximum use for creating an exemplary learning environment, as we patronize the concept of “Pathology in pictures”.

The entire armamentarium includes state-of-the-art imported microscopes, microtomes, automatic cell counters and computerized diagnostic facility.

Cardiology

Rajarajeswari Heart Center, part of the esteem institute, Rajarajeswari Medical College& Hospital. Was established in May 2012 as an initial non-interventional department with 2D echocardiography, Treadmill Test and cardiac consultation. After the initial good response, our interventional department was established in December 2012. Since then, there was no looking back, the department has made leaps & bounds in patient care, catering in all fields of cardiology like pediatric device closure for ASD & VSD (congenital heart diseases), to adult coronary artery disease, peripheral artery diseases, heart failure, heart blocks and arrhythmia management with ablations. The department has ever since been catering to the community with the latest technology and best cardiac care at the most affordableprices.

Biochemistry

Medical biochemistry, as a subject, incorporates the study of biology and chemistry of functioning of human life. Knowledge of Biochemistry is vital to the understanding of Physiology of life. The curriculum integrates the detailed structure and functions of Protein, Fats, Carbohydrates, Nucleic Acids, Enzyme Reaction mechanisms, Nucleic acids replication and re combination, Membrane trafficking, Biochemistry of Bacterial and animal viruses etc. The Department of Biochemistry offers advanced course in biochemistry. The department offers meticulously designed training methodology in experimental skills to enable the students to pursue research in areas of Biology. At present, the department provides training and carries out research in the areas of immunology, protein biochemistry, molecular biology, neurobiology, molecular biophysics, bioenergetics, molecular virology, molecular genetics and Drug design. The curriculum is designed to:
  • Train the undergraduate and postgraduate medical students as per Revised CBME guidelines.
  • Encourage the staff to update the recent biochemical concepts and engage in research activities.
  • Encourage the staff for funded projects
  • Conduct journal club, clinical case discussion for postgraduate students.
  • Conduct seminars, guest lectures and CME to impart the interdisciplinary nature of biochemistry.
  • To provide quality clinical chemistry laboratory services.

Physiology

“Physiology of Today is the Medicine for Tomorrow” – E.H. Starling The Department of Physiology aims at providing integrated in-depth knowledge of human physiology for students, through classroom teaching and direct observation in specialized labs for Hematology, Human, Clinical, Research and Amphibian/ Mammalian experiments. The labs are equipped with advanced systems such as spirometers, 4 & 8 channel physiograph, ECG, EMG, Ergographs, Polygraphs and autonomic function lab that aid in both teaching and research. We use innovative teaching methods to facilitate horizontal & vertical integration. Encouraging & nurturing environment is provided for the students to take up research projects, self directed learning and critical thinking. The importance of ethical values, responsiveness and communication skills are inculcated in the students. Hence preparing a learner to achieve the goal of becoming “Indian Medical Graduate”, who is globally relevant. We constantly strive to update knowledge through organizing and participating in various conferences/ CMEs /Webinars/Clinical updates to meet the expectation of changing needs in Medical Education. Expansion plans include Yoga Research lab for a holistic approach towards patient care. The department has facilities for: • Training U.G and P.G students • Research Following training facility for undergraduates are available: • Common Lecture Hall with A V aids • Practical hall with all required facilities • Tutorial rooms with audio visual facility and provision for interactive teaching • Skill lab

Anatomy

The branch of biology that deals with the study of structures of human beings is referred to as Anatomy. Dissection of cadavers forms the corner stone in learning Anatomy. The curriculum ranges from Grass Anatomy, Osteology (Study of Bones), Histology (study of tissues) to embryology and applied Anatomy. The department of Anatomy is situated in the preclinical block of medical college campus.
The department of Anatomy at Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital stands out in its uniqueness. The section is marked with a huge dissection hall that has good ventilation &. attached to the dissection hall is the embalming room with storage tanks for preservation of the cadavers. The cleanliness is always maintained and is under observation by our trained attenders. The students are given a combination of lectures, visual presentations and dissections to ensure that they understand every aspect of the body from head to toe thoroughly.

The department also comprises of:

1. The Histology Practical Lab which is spacious and well equipped with USB 2 digital camera. Students are individually provided with microscopes for the study of slides. Adjacent to it is the research lab where all necessary equipments are available for research purpose.
2. Further there are lecture halls, departmental library, & well furnished staff rooms. And the dissection hall comprising of bone and meat cutting machines, embalming room, storage tanks and cooling cabinets for dead bodies and dissection tables.
3. The museum is one of the highlights to the department where specimens both dry and wet are neatly arranged.
4. The Department Library consists of adequate books for the study references of the students. Add to this, two demonstration rooms are provided for Osteology classes in smaller batches of students and also to conduct tutorials and seminars.
